Full Text

This invention relates to a device for artificial infusion of oxygen in human blood. The term "human blood" includes blood of living beings.
The basic principle of the working of the proposed device is photocatatytic reaction. A catalyst: like Titanium dioxide (Ti02) in the presence of ultra violet light can split the water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen. The human blood contains more than 80% of water.
There are four major types of blood cells: red blood cells, platelets, lymphocytes, and phagocyte cells.
The red cells contain a verv hish concentration of hemoglobin. Haemoglobin acts as a earner of oxygen from the lung to the (issues and of carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is a large protein molecule and has four sub-units, each unit contains ferrous (Fc++) at the center of porphyrin ring. Each iron atom is able to bind one oxygen and transport to the tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. >
The blood to be oxygenated has to be lakon out of the body ill die present device. This blood is from the veins and can be taken with a needle in sufficient quantities. The present experiments are earned out with 20 milli liters, of blood
Presently, the human blood is oxygenated "extra corporeally" by a membrane oxygenator. This membrane oxygenator can handle 5 liters of blood per minute. Our invention may replace the membrane oxygenator and can also handle the same quantity of blood. The main advantage of the present device over the membrane' oxygenator is thai it is more efficient and much cheaper.
The device, according to this invention, for artificial infusion of oxygen in human blood comprises a quartz tube on the outer surface of which tin doped indium oxide thin film; titanium dioxide thin films are deposited ; a UV lamp centrally located within the quartz tube; a glass jacket surrounding the quartz tube for the inflow of blood and the outflow of blood for photocatalysis
This invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrates by way of example and not by way of limitation one of various possible embodiments of this invention.

On the outer surface of a quartz tube 5, tin doped indium oxide thin film and titanium dioxide thin films 2 are deposited. A LTV lamp 4 is centrally located within the quartz tube. A glass jacket 3 surrounds the quartz tube 3 for the inflow of blood and the outflow of blood for photocatalysis . During photocatalysis oxygen is separated from the water molecules in the blood and this oxygen is used for infusion in the blood.
We Claim:
1 A device for artificial infusion of oxygen in human blood comprising a quartz tube on the outer surface of which tin doped indium oxide thin film; titanium dioxide thin films
if*
are deposited; a LTV' lamp centrally located within the quartz tube; a glass jacket surrounding the quartz tube lor the inflow of blood and the outflow of blood for photocatalysis
2. A device for artificial infusion of oxygen in human blood substantially as herein
described and illustrated with respect to the accompanying drawings.
3. A method of preparation of oxygen from human blood for artificial infusion thereof in
human blood comprising the steps of passing the said blood through a glass jacket
enclosing a quartz lube within which is located a I TV lamp, (he outer surface of (he said
tube having deposits of tin doped indium oxide and titanium dioxide thin limts.
4 A method of preparation of oxygen from human blood for artificial infusion thereof in human blood substantially as herein described and illustrated .
